5 Very Good Reasons To Punch A Dolphin In The Mouth (And Other Useful Guides)” is a humorous book by Matthew Inman, also known as The Oatmeal. The book is a collection of comics and funny essays that cover a variety of absurd topics in a tongue in cheek manner. The title itself is a prime example of the book’s over-the-top humor, as it doesn’t actually advocate for violence against dolphins but rather uses the absurdity of the premise to set the tone for the rest of the content.
The book includes a range of topics, from social commentary on modern life to random, quirky observations, all delivered with a mix of wit, sarcasm, and distinctive illustration style. It’s designed to entertain and make you laugh with its exaggerated and often ridiculous take on everyday situations.
